About Okpyeon: Hanja Popup Dictionary
Okpyeon is a popup hanja dictionary for Korean learners. Much of Korean vocabulary is built from hanja roots the way English words are built from Latin, so once you know that 國 is 나라 국, the shared root in 국민, 국가, and 외국 becomes visible.
Select text on any page and a card appears. Or click the toolbar icon for a sidebar with a search box; typing hj in the address bar searches from anywhere.
-- CHARACTERS INTO KOREAN --
Select a hanja to see its eumhun (나라 국 for 國), English definitions, and common compounds. Simplified Chinese and Japanese forms resolve to the same entries, so those pages work too.
-- KOREAN WORDS INTO HANJA --
Highlight a Sino-Korean word in hangul to see its hanja, meaning, and component characters. A word with several spellings shows all of them (사기: 詐欺, 士氣, 沙器).
-- CHARACTERS SPLIT INTO PARTS --
A character's card shows what it is made of (樂 = 幺 + 白 + 幺 + 木), each part with its own reading, and which other characters use it as a component. The part that gives a character its sound is marked. For example, in 請 (청), that part is 靑 (청).
-- SAVED WORDS AND ANKI EXPORT --
Star any card to save it into a folder. Folders export as an Anki text file or a CSV, with adjustable card fields in the settings section.
-- NO KOREAN KEYBOARD NEEDED --
Typing toddlf (what would normally be the keys for ㅅㅐㅇㅇㅣㄹ on a Korean keyboard) finds 생일, and gungmin or gukmin (romanized versions) finds 국민.
-- BROWSE BY SOUND --
Highlight a single syllable like 국 to list every hanja read that way.
-- EVERY CHARACTER IS GRADED --
Middle school and High school mark the roughly 1,800 characters of the Korean Ministry of Education list. Advanced and Rare cover everything else, so a glance tells you whether a character is worth your time.
-- NATIVE KOREAN WORDS (OPTIONAL) --
One setting adds native words as their own cards and an All words search scope, making Okpyeon a dictionary of all Korean.
-- JAPANESE AND CHINESE READINGS (OPTIONAL) --
Two settings add each character's on'yomi and pinyin beside its Korean reading: 學 is 학 in Korean, ガク in Japanese, xué in Mandarin.
